adobe photoshop

Got a wierd one here, just purchased this computer used, with photoshop cs3 installed, I opened it to take a look, but did not use it. Now I cant find it in my start up menu under programs, it dissappeared, I explored the c drive programs folder and it is there, but I can't find a short cut or a launch icon of any kind. Adobe is constantly trying to update, but for reader, which I finally accepted. Any Ideas on how to run the program and get a short cut for the run?????

That's what I thought, looked in all the files and can't find one. Sorry I was so long getting back, been busy. I also typed in photoshop in the run program in start, and it said could not find, that is supposed to work in all XP editions, again no luck. Any other Ideas? I dont have the disk, could I some how go to adobe site and get it?

You can go to adobe and download the trail. Not sure if they have a CS3 trials anymore (I wouldn't think so).
